Well, well, well...I can hardly believe that I have endured 5 1/2 weeks of NO SLEEP and I am still able to write and speak! Yeah our precious little one DOES NOT like to sleep at night...although the last two nights have been GREAT. Maybe he is ready for a change...like sleeping at night! I would LOVE that! He is so beautiful and I am just enjoying him so much. We all are! He is just LOVELY during the day, just fussy at night. Chloe is still just loving him to death...I didnt think that she would love him so much at first! There still has been NO jelious moments and she is doing so much to help me! Here are a few pics I took of the lil Sweet heart today!

Well, well, well...I finally gave in. I always said I wouldn't let Chloe go up in the Helicopter with Brian till she was older (I was thinking like 16 :) But Brian rented the Helicopter and took it up to my parents house and landed it on the lawn by the pool. Chloe knew he was doing this and kept begging to go up in the Helicopter with Daddy. How could I resist. So Brian flew the helicopter to my parents, landed and took Chloe and my mom up in the air for about 15 min. Chloe was so excited she could hardly wait. Here are a few videos that I thought were super cute!!

You can hear Chloe screaming at her Daddy as if he can really hear her all the way up in the air. The funniest is when you hear Chloe to tell Daddy to park it by the tree house...

The next video is of Brian actually landing the Helicopter on the lawn at my parents...SCARY!

The last video is of Chloe just before she is getting ready to go up in the air and she is incredibly excited and doesn't want to talk to the camera, hence the door slamming in my face!

In all it was so very cool! I am so proud of Brian and all he has accomplished! He is amazing and I am so happy for him that he will be able to wake up everyday of his life and go to work happy and come home happy and LOVE what he does!

So...since I am COOPED up in bed and can't move or get out...I have been bored out of my mind...so I decided to start reading this book I bought at Barnes and Noble called...Calorie, fat and Carbohydrate counter written by Allan Borushek. His book was a national health information awards winner for 2008 and rated #1 by Professionals and consumers. So you ask...why that book...because I LOVE EATING OUT and know that it is soooooo bad for you! But what I didnt realize was HOW FREAKIN BAD IT IS FOR YOU! I dont think I will be able to eat out again after reading this book. Here are some things I would like to share with you all. I thought so many times I was eating out and making smart choices by eating salads, grilled chicken sandwiches etc....so here are some of the foods I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED by!

First off I wanted to list off a few Health Statistics:

Fat intake should be: 30-60g for Women40-80g for Men80-120g for Athletes

Here are the ratios for Calories, Fat and CarbsCalories Fat Carbohydrates

1200 30g 120g1500 40g 170g1800 50g 210g2000 60g 250g2500 80g 345g

With that said here are some of my favorite foods to eat at restraunts...I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE FAT AND CALORIE TOTALS!!!!! Tell me what you think!

Ok so is anyone else DISGUSTED! I am totally I can hardly believe I put some of that food in my mouth! I mean I knew fast food was bad but can any of you believe how bad????? I seriously dont ever want to eat out again...which is good we'll save alot of money!!! So...I would like to hear what you all think about this!!!!!

So yesterday at 5:30 AM, I had a long awaited surgery planned! YIPPY! I have had a Hernia since I gave birth to Chloe...so 5 years. And it has been bothering me really bad the last 2 years. I cant do sit ups or scream really loud without it pooping out. So for any of you who dont know what a Hernia is...it is when the intestines make a hole through your ab walls. So to fix it they make a 3 inch incision and push the intestines back in place and sew your abs up! Yeah sound like fun huh? Especially 4 weeks after having a baby! But I only have insurance for 6 weeks after I had Korbin so I had to get it done! So yesterday was the dreaded day...but it went incredibly well. The surgeon said it was a good thing I got it done because the hole in my abs was about 4 inches big. Yeah LOVELY! So now I am recovering and I feel like CRAP...worse than labor...my stomch hurts so bad...oh by the way it is 3 inches above my belly button. So I cant really sit up or satnd up without it hurting really bad. They said it will take at least 2 weeks to heal. And I cant lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 6 weeks...so Korbin had better not gain too much weight in the next 6 weeks...or I cant hold him...But it all went well and I am on my way to feeling MUCH BETTER!

This is a post all about my wonderful Hubby who I LOVE SO MUCH! Brian is such an amazing husband and father! I could NEVER ask for a better spouse. He is so caring, loving and just flat out AMAZING in my eyes! He is so thoughtful when it comes to my needs. He is such a good father to our children. I LOVE it most when I see him interact with our babies, it just warms my heart! Chloe just adores her father and is definetly a daddy's girl. When ever I say NO to something she runs to daddy and bats her eyes...and usually he gives in...SOFTIE! But that is what I love about him. I also love that he almost always lets me be right...even though he thinks I am wrong...although it has taken him 5 years to get this one right!!!!! Here are some of the things I love about my sweetheart and some pics through the years to go along with them!!!

First and foremost he is an amazing Husband as I said!

He is very sincere

He LISTENS very well...well most of the time

He usually does the dishes...yeah SCORE! Thanks babe!

He is a hard worker with great goals He is an amazing father

He is FUNNY! He has a great sense of humor!

He takes amazing care of me...I always come first which is why our relationship works so wellHe is so loving and tender hearted

So today was my birthday and it was sooo lovely! We had lunch at my parents, which was AMAZING...my mom is the best! We had Chicken with melted Provlone cheese, sauted Mushroom and Onions, Asparagus, Garlic Mash Potatoes and bread. Then Brian, Korbin and I took a long (AND WELL NEEDED) 3 hr nap...VERY nice. Then per my request (which Brian didnt want to) we took some family pictures, that turned out pretty good...other than the fact that I still have massive baby weight to loose...granted Korbin is only 11 days old...but I want it off.

Then we had cake, my favorite German Chocolate...and opened presents. I got some new clothes and flip flops from my parents, new MAC eyeshadow from my sister, a bag of DOVE chocolate from my other sister, and a new purse from Brian which I got two months ago because I couldnt wait to have it. I waited ONE week after buying it and couldnt not have it so he gave it to me early! Thanks Babe! It is the cutest purse ever! It is made by B. Makowsky and it has Cheeta inside and I LOVE IT!

In all it was a nice day with Sunshine and I felt blessed to spend it with my family!
